Employee benefits

The nursery is part of Eric Wright Group and is located in its own building in the grounds of our head office. Places are provided for employees children at a subsidised rate and also to members of the public at the standard rate.

Staffed by five nursery nurses and a pre-school co-ordinator the nursery has received Excellent reports from OFSTED and Social Services, along with a Healthy Eating Award from South Ribble Council.

The nursery is open Monday to Friday 8.00am – 5.45pm, 51 weeks a year. If you wish to put your childs name down for a place at Sceptre Nursery please call in at the nursery or call our nursery manager, Louise Snape, on 01772 694747. Your child will be put on the waiting list (currently three months) and you will be contacted as and when a place becomes available.

Employees are welcome to use the gym, located at our head office. This is free of charge and can be used before and after work and at lunch times. The gym has showers and changing rooms, along with cycle storage.

In line with Government legislation, Eric Wright Group Limited will automatically enrol you into the workplace Group Personal Pension if you meet a number of conditions.

Employees may choose to opt out of the pension scheme if desired. There are minimum and maximum contribution rates for both parties and you may make changes to your contribution levels during the year.

Eric Wright Group wants to make sure its employees are protected financially should they fall ill for a long period. That is why Eric Wright Group offers a Group Income Protection Scheme.

If you are unable to work through illness or accident, you will still receive a proportion of your salary each month. In this way, you can concentrate on getting better or coping with your illness, not worrying about how you’ll find money to pay the bills.

And it costs you nothing. The company pay the full costs of the scheme.

The Group Life Assurance Scheme provides protection for your dependants should you die before reaching retirement. The scheme provides a valuable lump sum that can help those close to you.

Not only does the scheme provide benefits when they are needed most, but it also costs you nothing to join. The cost is paid for in full by the company.

Employees have free access to a confidential Employee Assistance Programme telephone helpline where they can discuss any issues from personal relationships, bereavement, health, medication queries to consumer protection rights.

Rewards, in the form of gift cards, are issued to employees in recognition of service milestones and significant birthdays.
